Formula Breakdown

Percentage Increase

((New Value - Original Value) ÷ Original Value) × 100

For example, if a price increases from $80 to $100:

((100 - 80) ÷ 80) × 100
(20 ÷ 80) × 100
0.25 × 100
= 25% increase

Percentage Decrease

((Original Value - New Value) ÷ Original Value) × 100

For example, if a price decreases from $100 to $75:

((100 - 75) ÷ 100) × 100
(25 ÷ 100) × 100
0.25 × 100
= 25% decrease
